Why choose Livingstone Textiles for contract furnishings?
Livingstones has been here for more than 50 years, so we know our stuff. We’re proud to be big enough to manage large contracts, and small enough to care about all of our customers and to offer a fully bespoke service.
From our base in Bridport, Dorset, we work with clients all over the South West. If you’re further afield, we’d still be delighted to quote for your made-to measure contract furnishings, but may not be able to provide measuring-up and hanging services.
All our work is done in-house. Our experienced makers are local to us in Bridport, so you can be confident that we can oversee all aspects of your project.
What can we make for you?
We use skilled local makers who are experienced in creating the perfect furnishings for every setting. Previous projects have included boarding school dorms, village halls, hotels, crematoriums, office spaces, shepherds huts and even a cruise ship! Plus many more bespoke designs.
Our service ranges from full project management down to simply supplying your fabric, and everything in between – it’s up to you. Full project management starts with one of our experienced team visiting the site in order to measure up and establish your needs, from there we will work closely with you to find the right fabric for your project.

Specialist contract fabrics
Contract furnishing fabrics don’t have to be boring! With contract ranges available to suit any commercial or business setting we will help you find the perfect one. We stock gorgeous plain fabrics and a wide choice of patterned fabrics, both on the roll and to order. Additionally, we have a choice of designs available to be printed onto a base cloth of your choice, so you can select the design you want and combine it with the most suitable fabric for your setting.
Fire retardant fabrics and treatment
Choosing fabric for business or public buildings is a little more complicated than for a domestic setting. Current UK Fire regulations mean that business owners have a duty of care to ensure that fabrics and furnishings used in non-domestic buildings are as safe as possible in case of fire.
Part of our contract service is to ensure that the fabrics you choose comply with current fire safety regulations. We arrange for fabrics to be fireproofed as needed, and supply fire retardant certification for your peace of mind.
Alternatively all our printed-to-order contract fabric has the advantage of being inherently fire retardant. These fabrics are washable without losing any of their fireproofing qualities. Find out more about contract fabric on our supplier website.
